Volcanic eruption

How do those minerals actually form? When particles of the same substance come together, for example in molten form, as during a volcanic eruption, there’s a chance that they will solidify in a regular pattern and thereby display beautiful colors and patterns. Certain minerals solidify at different temperatures than others, which also creates specific patterns. If the temperature of the magma drops slowly, large crystals can form.
